Someone wrote me recently and told me now that she’s gone low carb, she misses eating rice, in particular Spanish rice.

I told her that she won’t miss it for long.

This week’s recipe might not seem as exciting as fun bar food, juicy meat recipes, or celebratory cocktail recipes.

But eventually, we need some good side dishes to round out our meals.

This Spanish Style Cauliflower Rice dish is the perfect sexy side piece to complement any number of Eat Happy recipes, especially:

  • Quesadilla Casserole (EH)

  • Machaca (EH)

  • Fast(er) Carnitas (EH)

  • Carne Asada Dry Rub (EHToo)

  • Ropa Vieja (EHToo)

  • Lime Tequila Fajitas (EHToo)

  • Stuffed Pasilla Peppers (EHToo)

  • Monterey Casserole (EHToo)

  • EGGS! Yep, just plop some eggs on there. Yum.

  • Taco Tuesday using Eat Happy Kitchen Taco Seasoning with ground beef and making these Keto Cheese Taco Shells

Here’s a pic of the keto cheese taco shells, just because I love this photo.
